Garrett's mom won Foreigner tickets on the radio. Twice. That means that she got a pair for her and her husband and a pair for me and Garrett, and it was awesome.
We thought it was pretty hilarious that we were seeing Foreigner in the first place. I mean, they have some pretty big hits, but how is "Hot Blooded" not funny? How can you not giggle a little with "I Want to Know What Love Is" even if it is emotional? Also, it's kind of funny that lead guitar Mick Jones is the only original member left in the band. You can tell who he is, too, because he's the only one with gray hair. The replacements are all young musicians, and there's a long list of former members.
All silliness aside, it was a really good show there at the Warner Theater in Torrington. We couldn't believe how many Foreigner songs we knew. They played them all - "Cold As Ice," "Feels Like the First Time," "Juke Box Hero," "Double Vision" and "Head Games."
Garrett made a good point - we knew more songs at this Foreigner show than a lot of other concerts we go to.
The crowd was really into it. I'm sure for some people there, it was their favorite band. "I Want to Know What Love Is" was probably some couple's song. The audience's enthusiasm also made the show.
In the end, we had a lot of fun. And it was free.
